IIS 7.0 Beta And PHP

Mar 12, 2007

I recently purchased "Build your own database driven website using php& mysql" and it describes how to setup php on a computer using the binary download package from php.net. My issue is a rather interesting one. I spend a few hours digging around in php.net's faq, microsoft's knowledgebase and various web locations.

I am trying to setup php5isapi.dll as a handler mapping. the directions given are for an older version of IIS and they have changed since then. Is anyone familiar with how this task has changed? I am currently running windows vista ultimate on my machine.

The options i have to add under handler mappings are as follows

Managed Handler
=>Request Path: (text entry box)
=>Type: (this is a drop down menu not a browse box)
=>Name: (text entry box)

tried this, didn't work

Script Map
=> Request path: (text entry box)
=>Type: (this is a browse box to locate an executable file)
=>Name: (text entry box)

tried this one as well, didn't work

Module Mapping
same three boxes as the managed handler...also didn't work

if anyone is familiar with this process *(getting php5isapi.dll mapped for *.php is the only part i can't figure out the changes on) i would greatly appreciate any assistance.

As it stands right now, when i run any php file, internet explorer opens a window, closes the window in probably half a second, and then it opens a download file box asking me if i want to open, save or cancel.. if i click open the process repeats, save just copies the file as if it was being downloaded.

Resolve DNS Issues On Cpanel 11.x Beta

Jul 11, 2007

I have come accross an issue with DNS in cpanel 11.x , where named.conf is badly configured by cpanel ,

Here is how a DNS report from dnsstuff.com would look because of this :

FAILS for SOA record
Fails for lame nameservers .

Here's how to fix it ,

SSH to server ,

Backup your named.conf file by

cp /etc/named.conf named.conf.back

then
pico /etc/named.conf

Replace

Code:
include "/etc/rndc.key";

controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};

options
{
/* make named use port 53 for the source of all queries, to allow
* firewalls to block all ports except 53:
*/
query-source port 53;

// Put files that named is allowed to write in the data/ directory:
directory "/var/named"; // the default
dump-file "data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "data/named_stats.txt";
memstatistics-file "data/named_mem_stats.txt";
};

logging
{
/* If you want to enable debugging, eg. using the 'rndc trace' command,
* named will try to write the 'named.run' file in the $directory (/var/named).
* By default, SELinux policy does not allow named to modify the /var/named directory,
* so put the default debug log file in data/ :
*/
channel default_debug {
file "data/named.run";
severity dynamic;
};
};

// All BIND 9 zones are in a "view", which allow different zones to be served
// to different types of client addresses, and for options to be set for groups
// of zones.
//
// By default, if named.conf contains no "view" clauses, all zones are in the
// "default" view, which matches all clients.
//
// If named.conf contains any "view" clause, then all zones MUST be in a view;
// so it is recommended to start off using views to avoid having to restructure
// your configuration files in the future.

view "localhost_resolver"
{
/* This view sets up named to be a localhost resolver ( caching only nameserver ).
* If all you want is a caching-only nameserver, then you need only define this view:
*/
match-clients { localhost; };
match-destinations { localhost; };
recursion yes;

zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "/var/named/named.ca";
};

/* these are zones that contain definitions for all the localhost
* names and addresses, as recommended in RFC1912 - these names should
* ONLY be served to localhost clients:
*/
include "/var/named/named.rfc1912.zones";
};

view "internal"
{
/* This view will contain zones you want to serve only to "internal" clients
that connect via your directly attached LAN interfaces - "localnets" .
*/
match-clients { localnets; };
match-destinations { localnets; };
recursion yes;

zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "/var/named/named.ca";
};

// include "/var/named/named.rfc1912.zones";
// you should not serve your rfc1912 names to non-localhost clients.

// These are your "authoritative" internal zones, and would probably
// also be included in the "localhost_resolver" view above :
};

view "external"
{
/* This view will contain zones you want to serve only to "external" clients
* that have addresses that are not on your directly attached LAN interface subnets:
*/
match-clients { !localnets; !localhost; };
match-destinations { !localnets; !localhost; };

recursion no;
// you'd probably want to deny recursion to external clients, so you don't
// end up providing free DNS service to all takers

// all views must contain the root hints zone:
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "/var/named/named.ca";
};

// These are your "authoritative" external zones, and would probably
// contain entries for just your web and mail servers:

// BEGIN external zone entries
With

Code:
include "/etc/rndc.key";

controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};
And then goto bottom of the file and remove

}; at the bottom .

Save file and exit

then test config
service named configtest
if you have done this correctly , it should display something like this:

zone blue.xxx.com/IN: loaded serial 2007070901
zone xxx.com/IN: loaded serial 2007070906
zone ns1.xxx.com/IN: loaded serial 2007070901
zone server.xxx.com/IN: loaded serial 2007071001
zone xxx.net/IN: loaded serial 2007071001

Then restart named by

service named restart

your DNS should be working now .
